Get On Your Knees
Nicki Minaj Lyrics

Get on your knees, get on your knees, get on your knees
I need you to submit to me and show your devotion by getting down on your knees, repeating it three times emphasizes my authority and dominance.

Baby, just get on your knees (on your knees)
My use of the word 'baby' makes it clear that I am the one in control and you need to obey my command to get on your knees.

Say pretty please, say pretty please, say pretty please
The use of 'pretty please' emphasizes the power dynamic between us, as I am the one making demands and you must ask for my approval before receiving anything.

Baby just say pretty please
I am reinforcing my position of power by demanding that you ask for my permission and affirmation, as you are subservient to me.

I'll be back at eleven, you just act like a peasant
Rather than treating you as an equal, I am asserting my superiority and putting you in a subservient role by referring to you as a peasant while I leave and come back later.

Got a bow on my panties because my ass is a present

I am comparing myself to a famous and beautiful woman, establishing myself as superior and more desirable, and emphasizing your subservience and willingness to please me by saying you look good when begging.

When I'm bouncin' it, chill out and don't you make a mistake with it
I want you to know that you are under my control and should be cautious in any physical interactions we have, as I am dictating the rules and you must follow them.

Let me see what you're workin' with, if you're ridin', I'm murkin' it
I am asserting my power over you again, but in a more playful and sexual manner by saying I want to see what you can do, and if you meet my expectations, I will take control and make it even better.

Slow grindin', I'm twerkin' it, yeah I bagged him, I Birkin'd it
I am boasting about my sexual abilities and using them to control you, as I am the one who has 'bagged' you, and can manipulate you into doing what I want.

I don't need a dozen roses
I am making it clear that material things are not important to me, but rather, your obedience and service to me are what matter.

You ain't gotta wine and dine me, no
I am reinforcing that I do not need traditional romantic gestures, as I am more focused on your submission and obedience to me.

I don't need a pretty poet
My sexual desires are more important to me than any attempts to woo me with flowery language or romantic gestures.

Ooh, gettin' all emotional
I am again emphasizing that I do not desire emotional attachments, but instead demand obedience and submission.

You gotta beg for it, beg for it
I am repeating my demand that you beg for my approval and permission, emphasizing my dominance and control over you again.

Paid my dues and tuition, it's good for your nutrition
I am reinforcing my superiority to you, as I have paid my dues and taken control of the situation, and am now in a position to use you for my pleasure, which will be 'good for your nutrition' (again, emphasizing your subservience).

Good head like a beautician, got me twitchin', finish your mission
